"A Lalnb at SCHOOL,"

Most of our young readers will be sur
prised to hear that the well-known nur.
sery song Of MARY Had Little Lamb"
is true story. and that MARY is still
living. About seventy years ago she
was little girl. the daughter of a far.
mer in Worcester county. Massachu-
sets. She was very fond of going
with her father into the fields to see
the sheep. and one day they found a
baby-lamb which was thought to be
dead. Kind-hearted little Mary. how
ever. lifted it up in her arms. and. as
it seemed to breathe. she carried it
home, made it a warm bed near the
stove, and nursed it tenderly. Great
was her delight when. after weeks of
careful feeding and watching. her little
patient began to grow we'll and strong.
and soon after it was able to run
about. 1t knew its young mistress
perfectly. always came at her call, and
was happy only when at her side. One
day it followed her to the village school
and not knowing what else to do with
it, she put it under her desk and COW
cred it with her shawl. There it staid
until Mary was called up to the teach
ers desk to say her lesson, and then
the lamb walked quietly after her
and the other children burst out laugh
ing. So the teacher had to shut the
little girls pet in the wood-shed until
school was out. Soon after this a
young student, named John Rollstone.
wrote little poem about Mary and
her lamb and presented it to her. The
lamb grew to be sheep and lived for
many years. and when ut last it died.
Mary grieved so much for it that her
mother took some of its wool. which
was ''as white as snow" and knitted a
pair of stockings for her. to wear in
remembrance Of her darling. Some
years after the lambs death, Mrs. Sa-
rah Hull, a celebrated woman who
wrote books, composed some verses
about Mary's lamb and added them to
those written by John Rollstone. maxi
ing the complete poem as we know it.
Mary took such good care of the
stockings made of her lambs fleece,
that when she was grown up woman
she gave one of them to church fair
in Boston. As soon as it became
known that the stocking was made
from the fleece of '.Mary's little lamb. ;"
every one wanted piece of it; so the
stocking was raveled out and the yarn
cut into small pieces. Each piece was
tied 10 card on which Mary wrote
her full name, and these cards sold SO
we'll that they brought the large sum
Of one hundred and forty dollars to the
Old South Church!-Anaertcd can Agri-
cniturist.

HER FAIR FALSE HAIR.
Tho Depressing Reaction Caused by d
Bridexroom's Discovery.

Tho Depressing Reaction Caused by a
BrIde2room's Discovery.
George Owings was married Tues
day evening to Minnie Rollers. The
honeymoon did not last one whole day.
Wednesday George left his bride. He
at first declined to give any explains
ton of his conduct. but on his wife's
parents demanding an explanation
George declared that he had been
greatly deceived by Minnie.
When the couple were reveling in
the blissful days of courtship George
was great ,.dmirer of Minnie's yell
low hair and beautiful pearly teeth
He thought it strange. however. that
she would not permit him to toy with
her golden locks rs most sweethearts
let their accepted lovers do. But then
Minnie was very neat. particular girl
that perhaps it was natural for her to
declare that she would not let George
disarrange her hair.
On the evening of her marriage her
hair looked lovelier than ever. and her
teeth shone with dazzling whitness.
Poor George. however, was doomed
to shocking disappointment. When
the happy couple were alone in their
bridal chamber George was Mortified
to behold the bride. amid the other
mysteries of her toilet, remove her
golden hair and take out her beautiful
teeth. She wore a wig, and there were
not dozen hairs on her head. A scalp
disease in early childhood had bereft
her of all her hair, and it never grew
again.
The young husband sat transfixed
with horror. He himself tells how
she tried to comfort him by declaring
that her love for him had prevented her
telling him that she wore a wig and
false teeth. So changed were her
looks, however. that the husband told
her then and there that the deception
she had practiced upon him demanded
. separation.
The enraged and disappointed hus-
band has told the story all around, and
the unfortunate woman by deceiving
her lover has published the secret Of
her false beauty to the world.-St.
Louis Sunday Sayings.

Egyptian Explorations.

Exploring parties have been at work
for four years among the buried sites of
biblical and other ancient cities in the
Nile delta Here were buried structures,
monuments. inscriptions. and other OBJ
jects which now that they are being
resurrected, are adding to our knowl-
edge not only of Egyptology. but an
cient geography. science, art. and of
the Israelitish, as well as the Greek
times of Egypt. The public has been
made familiar by the yearly publica-
lions of the Egypt Exploration Fund.-
with the unearthed remains of cities
that date back TO the exodus and be
yond, with a ruined Egyptian building
that corresponds to Il description by
Jeremiah, and with the great northern
capital of the Pharaohs, -Zoans.-the
Tanis of the Greeks. Scholars of vari-
Gus nationalities unite in this explora.
ton society, Englishmen.
Frenchmen, and Italians.-and it thus
appeals to a large, varied. and intelli-
gent constituency. II Milton could have
